Prague and so on

I completely forgot to mention this to anyone. We even just told our school colleagues today. We're going to Prague today! Bwah!!! I'll be sure to upload pictures and videos, of course! So this is sziasztok (Goodbye) for now. I'll be on and uploading in a little bit. I've been pretty bad at posting lately. I've just been so exhausted from work that I couldn't find the energy. Fall break came right on time!

Gerbaud and the Zoo: Part 2

Val's dad and stepmom have arrived in Budapest. We've done a lot already since they arrived last Thursday. The first was to visit Gerbaud! Where I saw the awesome old guys playing music. The guy playing the violin would say, "Opa!" every time someone would put money in the case.

Awesome.... Then we went to the zoo. It was some great stuff!!!! Sweet animal stuff happening............................................. NOW!

Cute gorilla baby!!!!!.........

Isn't that crazy????? I love the Budapest zoo!

Yes, that's a rhino and yes, I'm touching it O_o!!!!!!! I also enjoyed this particualarly sweet moment of an old lady and the same rhino.....

Ridiculously amazing stuff. Even better than the first time. We also saw some people feeding elephants. Nuts!!!

After the zoo we finished with a relaxing afternoon at Szechenyi furdo!!! It was great! What an amazing place to live in!

Fun Day and a Corks

Woohoo. Finally had my video camera in public :D. Yesterday, Val, Jamie and I went all over the city. The first stop was Gerbaud. It turned out to kind of be a bust since they didn't have the Gerbaud breakfast which was the entire reason we went. Oh well, saw some amazing street musicians!

Hazzah! Love street performers. Saturday was basically spent travelling from one place to another, eating or drinking something and then moving on to the next place to do the same. It was a great day, even though I was kind of down for part of it. No idea why : /. Anyways, fun day and very relaxing. Definitely need to do it again soon. On a side note, Val, Jamie and I have decided that Tuesdays will be our creative day where we go to a cafe and just work on artistic things! I'm thinking of making some flip books for ATCs (art trading cards). It's a thing that our friend Emily told us about. BTW, Emily expect one comin your way :D.

And last but not least, I made another animation a little bit ago. I enjoy them because they take such little time so I might just make a bunch of really short ones. Enjoy!

Nothing particularly incredible but I think they're really fun :D. Give it a try in your free time!

Back to Basics

I've been forgetting my video camera EVERY time we go out and do something interesting. There was a band playing in the metro last night and I missed it :P. I've also missed a couple of opportunities to show off some of the amazing places that we've gone to in Budapest. Last night we went to an amazing cafe in a book store. It's definitely a new hangout spot. The ceiling was huge and the music and atmosphere were ridiculously nice.
In school related news, Val and I have been adjusting to working at the school and it's started becoming second nature to us. It's nice because it gives us a chance to actually focus on other parts of our lives. Other than this, things have been quite calm. We try to keep things from getting routine and in Budapest it's not very difficult to do. There's always something new and exciting happening and I can't help but feel inspired by the city. It makes me want to create things and work on art all the time!
When we first arrived in Budapest, I loved it. Then I started to dislike it, due to culture shock and the language barrier, and now I feel like I love the city again. There's something special about it and I can understand why people love Hungary so much!
Today we'll be going to Gerbaud and a couple of other places to try and find some things we need. (I/E paint, pencils, and other things) Can't wait to see what happens today!
I'll start posting some more videos today.

That's all for now!
